Join the Cliffside Climate Action on April 20; Charlotte, NC

Big Coal probably thinks they need a bit of a break. Too bad for them, that's not really our style.
As an anti-coal organizer, in the wake of the Capitol Climate Action, I'm getting calls and emails from people all over the country wanting to escalate on coal mining, coal plants, coal waste and coal financing.
Many want to know what's next. Well, we've got a good one.
On April 20, the coalition that has been fighting Duke Energy's Cliffside coal plant are calling for a mass ralley and civil disobedience at Duke's HQ in Charlotte, NC.
If built, Cliffside would emit 6 million tons of CO2 each year, and would be fueled by coal from mountaintop removal mines.
The convergence starts Sunday, April 19th with a day of trainings in nonviolent direct action, strategic organizing, and other skills. On Monday April 20th, we will hit the streets and take direct action at Duke Headquarters.
As we build up to this exciting day here are a few things you can do to make this a successful event:
